More talks on:

This workshop will teach you PyTorch and building neural networks with it.

It will provide you with all the necessary knowledge to get started with crunching vast amounts of data and generating rules from them.

You will learn the following:

Build and train a Perceptron in numpy

Move the code to the GPU using PyTorch

Extend the neural network for more complex time-series forecasting

Introduction to NLP

TCN vs. RNN

This workshop aims at programmers comfortable with Python who want to expand their skills towards neural networks. It is recommended to be familiar with the basics of machine learning (but not mandatory). E.g. being familiar with train, validation, test splits and scaling would be perfect.

It is not required that you have dealt with neural networks before.

You won’t need to setup your computer for this workshop either.

We will take care of providing you an adequately setup cloud instance.

For those of you who prefer programming locally and having a computer with an NVIDIA GPU and Linux, instructions for preparing the computer will be sent out, too.
